Conestoga Wagon Company

What Conestoga Wagon Company does

Conestoga Wagon Company is a privately held American manufacturer of handcrafted glamping accommodations, founded in February 2015 and headquartered in Bloomington, Idaho. The company designs and builds luxury covered wagons (Standard, Lux, Hard Top Lux, Ranch, and Bar variants), rustic cabins, and turnkey shower houses for the outdoor hospitality industry. Its core technology combines authentic Oregon Trail-era aesthetics with modern amenities: a proprietary double-domed canvas construction (inner poly-blend plus outer vinyl canvas with airspace insulation), functioning wooden wagon wheels produced by an Amish partner in Shipshewana, Indiana, durable canvas from partner Montana Canvas, and ANSI-code-compliant structural framing for cabins and shower houses. Products ship fully built via semi-truck with RV hookups, climate control, and optional full bathrooms.

The company sells primarily through direct B2B outreach to resorts, campgrounds, RV parks, guest ranches, state parks, and private property owners, with quote-based custom pricing and no minimum order requirement. Its go-to-market is anchored by managing partner Jason Olson, who handles inbound sales via phone and website contact forms, supplemented by an embedded ecosystem of finance partners (Stone Bank as preferred lender, plus Business Finance Depot, Independence Bank, Advantage Plus Financing) and outdoor hospitality insurance partners (Coverra, Leavitt). Marketing relies heavily on earned media (Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid on PBS/Fox Business, Magnolia Network's Building Outside the Lines, ARVC trade features), social channels, and industry events like Glamping Show Americas. The company has delivered 500+ wagons and 240+ shower houses across 36 states, operating with a lean team of approximately six employees and outsourcing specialized production to its Amish manufacturing partner.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• AutoCamp: Luxury outdoor hospitality operator using Airstreams and custom cabin units. Adjacent because they compete for the same upscale glamping guest dollar and shape design expectations Conestoga buyers must meet.
• Tentrr: Glamping site operator and platform offering turnkey campsites on private land. Adjacent because Tentrr shapes end-customer expectations for canvas-style glamping accommodations, influencing what resort buyers purchase.
• Nomadic Tents / Tentsile: Manufacturer of elevated and tree-style tents for experiential lodging. Overlaps in the novel canvas shelter category and serves overlapping glamping resort customers, though their form factor differs from wagon-style units.

Direct peers

• Shelter Designs: Custom canvas tent and yurt manufacturer serving resorts and glamping properties. Comparable product format (engineered canvas lodging) and shared customer base in the campground/RV resort segment.
• Pacific Yurts: Established U.S. manufacturer of yurts and glamping structures. Direct peer because both companies fabricate canvas-based, climate-tuned shelter units sold to outdoor hospitality operators targeting the same glamping buyer.
• Timberline Glamping Company: Custom glamping structure manufacturer offering cabins, tents, and unique lodging units. Directly comparable as a small manufacturer of themed glamping accommodations sold to campgrounds and resorts.
• Boutique Bungalows: Manufacturer of small prefab cabins and glamping units for resorts and campgrounds. Highly comparable as a fellow small-format lodging structure maker targeting the same B2B outdoor hospitality buyer.
• Yurt Co. Yurt manufacturer supplying custom fabric structures to glamping operators. Direct overlap in canvas-clad, semi-permanent lodging units marketed to outdoor hospitality buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Kampgrounds of America (KOA): Largest U.S. campground franchise system. KOA franchisees are documented Conestoga buyers (per Independence Bank's KOA lending specialty), making KOA the most influential broad incumbent in the buyer ecosystem Conestoga sells into.
• Under Canvas: National luxury glamping resort operator. Comparable as a category-defining brand in glamping and a validation of category demand, though Under Canvas operates its own properties rather than selling structures to others.
